"Founded in 2011 by Tallu Schuyler Quinn, this nonprofit operates as a food distribution organization for Nashville’s food-insecure neighbors and centers its work on supporting recipients, volunteers, and staff with dignity and grace. After Quinn was diagnosed last year with an aggressive glioblastoma, she transitioned into a founder role so she could focus on her health while continuing to shape the organization’s vision, chronicling her experience and emphasizing loving the community, living in the present, and the naturalness of grief. The board, led by Chair Jeff Warne, has framed the coming leadership change as continuity of Quinn’s legacy rather than a direct replacement, named Christa Bentley and Teri Sloan as Interim Co-CEOs, praised staff resilience evidenced in the 2020 Community Impact Report, and is preparing to mark the organization’s tenth anniversary while launching a formal CEO search managed by Koya Partners." - Eater
